Apple’s ‘Planet of the Apps': lousy TV, good for developers

Apple made it likelier you'll get an App Store review reply

Effin' NDA now applies to rejection letters, too

In response to the negative publicity surrounding some recent, high-profilerejections from the App Store, Apple is now reminding developers that the rejection notices themselves are covered under their non-disclosure agreements.

In what is probably a recursive black hole of logic waiting to swallow the Earth whole, we now know that messages to developers now contain the line "the information contained in this message is under non-disclosure" in all caps.

Not knowing the specific terms of the NDA (because I haven't signed an NDA with Apple), I can't personally say if those terms were in the contract to begin with. Knowing Apple's penchant for secrecy, they probably were, and they're just being a bit more forceful with their reminders.
